Werewolf Code of Conduct

"That was far easier than I thought it would be. I needn't have learned about the 1637 Werewolf Code of Conduct or the uprising of Elfric the Eager."
-- Hermione after the first year History of Magic exam (PS16)

The Werewolf Code of Conduct of 1637 was meant to give Werewolves a framework for coexisting safely and legally within the wizarding world. Werewolves were required to sign a copy of the Code and promise to refrain from attacking and biting non-werewolves. They were also supposed to lock themselves away during their wolf transformation periods. (Pm)

As no undeclared werewolf wanted to go into the Ministry and admit to being one, none ever signed up to the Code. (Pm)
